Ratatat and Jay-Z. Twice. The first track features a slick, funky bass line overlayed by slick, muted guitar and organ(ic) synthisizer. The second track features Notorious B.I.G. What more can I say? Biggy continues to kick ass as a mash-up legend (t...

A week's worth of listening to Kid Cudi's new album Man on the Moon: The End of Day has been good to me. I'm not sure whether to call it hip hop or pop music and I expect the truth lies someplace in between. The mark of a great lasting album for me i...

Ratatat's signature baroque-synth-and-guitar style meshes with the likes of Young Buck, Kanye West and Devin the Dude without forcing itself onto those tracks awkwardly. Notorious B.I.G.'s classic "Party & Bullshit" trades in aggression for ultra...

Ratatat have a very unique sound to say the least. Using a fusion of electronic beats and rock guitars and on occasion use samples to provide a theme throughout the tracks. Evan Mast's provides most of the twitchy beats (with the keyboards sounding l...

My Spring has been filled with high expectations for new albums from bands who had strong debuts: MGMT, Justice, Gorillaz, Daft Punk (fingers crosssed) and now Ratatat. So far, many of those that already dropped have been flops. If you're like me, th...
